Oliver is a gastroenterologist who has a patient with a serious polyp in their intestinal tract. There are two courses of action for this issue. One involves a surgery that Oliver's practice charges $16,000 to do. The other is a less invasive procedure that only costs $2000. Both would get rid of the polyp that Oliver's patient has. Oliver feels that he must mention both and allow the patient to decide what course they would like to have. Which value of ethical behavior does this reasoning support?
